[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7283077, member: 6677017"] No spells until 8th level in 1e was similar to the paladin. Same through 2e and 3e (where that level got progressively lower). They’ve always been in that same category of magically touched warriors. (I didn’t agree with 4e’s intentional departure from that tradition.) Spell casting at any point in a base class progression chart is saying it’s an essential part of the class for me. You never had the choice to not pick up spellcasting at the appropriate level. In Basic, 1st level clerics didn’t even cast spells. I recognize that 8th level and 2nd level are not the same thing, but I do think it expresses the same concept. Classes don’t always hand out all of the defining traits at 1st level. And I’m assuming that the reason they have always traditionally been mystical is because Aragorn did weird stuff that seemed magical, and he was essentially the sole inspiration for the class. What I remember was when they were discussing feedback results and saying if more than 5%-10% of people answered “Dissatisfied” or “Very Dissatisfied” on a game element they considered that an area they needed to work more on. I also recall them saying that they aimed to reach that 90%-95% approval rating (I don’t recall the exact number, but it was at least 90%). I’m sure there is room for interpretation to some degree, but I don’t remember it seeming unclear at the time. [/QUOTE]
